1. General information
The Weed Brush has been specially developed
for the Egholm utility machine
The Weed Brush is used to remove weeds from
kerbs, pavements and roads.
The Weed Brush features a sturdy, front-moun-
ted steel brush that is hydraulically adjustable in
all directions.
The Weed Brush can be fitted together with the
collecting tank from the Suction Sweeper Unit in
order to collect weeds and seeds loosened by
the brush.
The Weed Brush can be assembled and
disassembled without using tools.
Useful tips
Always start your weed control in early spring. A
perfect result requires repeated efforts
throughout the summer.
Grass tufts by the edges of paths and
pavements are easiest to remove when they are
moist. Here, too, you should start weed removal
before the grass starts to grow.
Large, heavy or damp grass tufts can be difficult
for the machine to collect. Therefore, for a
perfect result, leave them to dry for a couple of
days before using the Suction Sweeper Unit to
remove them.

2.1 Assembly / Disassembly
Assembly:
1. The locking handle on the A-frame of the basic unit
must be in the open position. (Picture 1)
2. Drive the machine right up to the A-frame of the
Weed Brush so that the A-frames fit into each other.
NB! We recommend raising the basic unit A-frame
slightly to prevent damage to the paintwork on the
Weed Brush when the two A-frames make contact.
3. Use lever A to lift the A-frame until the brushes are
raised clear of the ground. (Picture 3)
4. Use the locking handle on the A-frame to lock the
Weed Brush in position. (Picture 2)
5. Fit the two medium-sized hydraulic hoses to the
B-connectors. (Picture 3)
6. Use the rubber ring to attach the hydraulic hoses
under the running board to ensure that they run
correctly across the screen. (Picture 4)

2. Operator's manual
Adjusting the wearing rail:
The roller brush ensures that the weeds are collected in
the collecting tank.
The wearing rail holds the roller brush and must always
be in contact with the ground to ensure that the roller
brush functions optimally. (Picture 1)
If the wearing rail is correctly adjusted, it will follow the
terrain.
Correct setting of the wearing rail:
The wearing rail is correctly adjusted if there are 2-3 mm
of space between the metal and the A-frame. (Picture 2)
If the gap is too large, the rail cannot be lifted clear of
the ground. The wearing rail is therefore correctly
adjusted when it is clear of the ground in "lifted"
position.
To adjust the wearing rail:
1. Lower the wearing rail.
2. Remove the forked bolt. (Picture 3)
3. Turn the fork end in towards the wearing rail.
(Picture 3)
The shorter the threaded section, the more
the wearing rail will be raised.
